ethIfOperStatus

Module: NETI-ETH-MIB

OID (symbolic): NETI-ETH-MIB::ethIfOperStatus

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.2928.2.2.1.3.2.1.8

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: INTEGER

Access: read-only

Description: The actual operational state of the interface. The value should normally follow the administrative state (ethIfAdminStatus).

up(1). The interface is up and operational. If the interface is representing a unicast ETS TTP, then both the originating and terminating connections have been established. For a multicast type, the originating connection has been established to all the configured destinations. Note that a multicast ETS TTP does not require terminating connections to be operational. If the interface is representing an interface group, then the operational status of all member interfaces are set to `up(1)'.

down(2). The interface is not operational.

dormant(5). This value is only applicable for Ethernet Transport Service Trail Termination Points (ETS TTP). The TTP is pending establishment of the terminating connection from the remote node.

notPresent(6). The physical interface (and its device) is not present.

partial(9). If the interface is representing a multicast ETS TTP, then the connections have been established to some, but not to all the configured destinations. If the interface is representing an interface group, then some but not all member interfaces have their operational status set to `up(1).

What is ethIfOperStatus?

The actual operational state of the interface: up(1) if fully operational (for a unicast ETS TTP, both directions of the connection are established), dormant(5) if an ETS TTP is waiting on the remote end to establish its terminating connection, partial(9) if only some destinations of a multicast ETS TTP (or some members of an interface group) are up, or notPresent(6) if the underlying physical device is missing -- an admin polls this rather than ethIfAdminStatus to see the real state of the link/connection.
